Chapter 127 The Shocked Ling Cang (Part 1)
The family competition is approaching, Ling Xiao is still meditating in the room.
I saw him with a solemn expression, his palms placed in front of his lower abdomen, his whole body exuded a cold aura, and what was even more peculiar was that the light around him was sometimes golden, sometimes red, sometimes white, and finally gray.
The transformation of colors, repeated over and over again, is extremely magical.
"Dong Dong!" There was a light knock on the door, and then Du Ying's voice sounded from outside, "Master, the family has something urgent, please go to the inner courtyard."
Ling Xiao opened his eyes, stood up, and his temperament was obviously better than before, making people feel even more heroic and extraordinary.
"Well, I see." He replied lightly, then got up, put on his clothes, and walked out.
Du Ying had been waiting for a long time, and immediately said softly to Ling Xiao, "It's about the family competition."
There are many things that Ling Xiao doesn't need to order. Du Ying has to clarify things in advance, and then report to Ling Xiao immediately. He is completely proud of Ling Xiao's servant.
Ling Xiao nodded, and did not rush directly to the inner courtyard, but went to the hall to have breakfast first, and then walked towards the inner courtyard without haste.
At this moment, the patriarch and the eight elders in the inner courtyard are all here, and there are still nine young people standing here.
These nine young people are all energetic, with extraordinary temperament, and their expressions are extremely cold and arrogant.
They are the outstanding members of the younger generation of the Ling family, and they are the representatives who represent the Ling family in the competition.
A year ago, the top five members of the Ling family test were all there except for Ling Xiao, the second elder's grandson Ling Kuang, the fourth elder's granddaughter Ling Bin, the patriarch's grandson Ling Li, and the fifth elder's grandson Ling Xing.
Ling Kuang and Ling Bin have already broken through to the Xuanshi rank, and Ling Li, who was originally a high-ranking Xuanshi in the family test, has also broken through to the Xuanshi rank in the past six months, while Ling Xing failed to break through, probably because Ling Xiao defeated him. He, and the demons he caused, his strength here is very poor.
Now, four of the top five in the family test a year ago were Xuanshi ranks, and all the elders of the Ling family are very pleased about this.
It's just that there was one more person who didn't come, and some people were not very happy.
"It's been half an hour, don't wait, the patriarch will announce if there is anything, so as to save everyone from wasting time here," the fifth elder said impatiently to the patriarch Ling Cang.
Ling Cang said indifferently, "Then let's get started," and then he stood up and said to the nine young people in the hall, "The four-year family competition is coming soon, and you will fight on behalf of the family's glory. Returning victoriously in this big competition will add more glory to my Ling family... ".
After Ling Cang talked for a while, he went to the Second Elder to speak, and they all said some words of encouragement.
After the top four elders spoke one after another, they went to Ling Cang to speak, "You are all good men of the Ling family, do you have the confidence to win the top ten or even the first place in this competition?".
"Yes!" The nine shouted in unison.
"Okay, the third elder will distribute the pills to you later, and then you can go to the Tibetan Artifact Pavilion to choose the weapons that suit you," Ling Cang said.
Just as the third elder was distributing the pills to the nine people, Ling Xiao finally came belatedly.
Suddenly, everyone turned their attention to Ling Xiao.
"Ling Xiao met the patriarch and all the elders." Ling Xiao saluted Ling Cang who was sitting up.
"Why are you late?" Ling Cang asked angrily. He really felt a headache for his grandson in his heart, why would something go wrong every time.
"Patriarch Hui, I'm doing exercises and I forgot the time," Ling Xiao replied.
"Thinking of your hard work, let's forget it this time, let's not make an example, and get the elixir to the side," Ling Cang said.
"I don't think this is appropriate." The Fifth Elder really would not let go of the opportunity to hit Ling Xiao. He had long hated Ling Xiao in his heart.
"Fifth Elder, what do you think?" Ling Cang asked indifferently.
"Ling Xiao is late in summoning, so he deserves to be punished, but because he is practicing hard, he can be exempted from severe punishment, but he is not allowed to receive pills and weapons as a punishment, otherwise everyone will be late in the name of practicing. Discussing matters, this is clearly contempt for the Council of Elders, why does this make our Council of Elders convince the public," the fifth elder said eloquently.
The fifth elder had a good plan. He used Ling Xiao's lateness as an excuse to cut off Ling Xiao's chance to choose medicine pills and weapons. You must know that above the big competition are the elites of the major families. They will bring the best medicines from the family and match them with the best weapons to fight, so that they can increase their combat power several times.
If Ling Xiao didn't have pills and high-level weapons, then he would suffer a lot in the competition. Because the game is one game after another, until the final winner, every game will be consumed. If there is no recovery of the pill, even if you win, the next game will be more disadvantaged; the same is true for the convenience of weapons. Holding a low-level weapon against the opponent's high-level weapon, sooner or later the soldiers will be destroyed.
Anger flashed in Ling Cang's eyes, and just as he was about to speak, Ling Xiao laughed first and said, "Patriarch, the fifth elder is right, Ling Xiao is willing to be punished, and I don't want this medicine and weapon."
At this time, all the elders and the nine younger generations present were surprised at Ling Xiao.
"Could it be that the Supreme Elder has something good for him?" This thought flashed through everyone.
Of course Ling Cang also thought of this, so he nodded, "Then do as the Fifth Elder wants, and we're all gone." Then he smiled at Ling with the sound transmission method, "You bastard, come to the inner hall with me."
The elders dispersed, and the nine members of the younger generation also left one by one, but when two hostile eyes passed Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao didn't mind it.
Cousin Lingxiao walked to him fiercely and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect you to come ahead of me again, but I will surpass you sooner or later."
Ling Xiao knew that his cousin was a cultivator madman, so he didn't plan to hit him, so he replied, "I'll wait for you."
Everyone dispersed, Ling Xiao followed Ling Cang to the inner hall.
"Xiao'er, you are really getting more and more presumptuous," Ling Cang shouted with a stern expression.
"Grandpa, I'm really in retreat. If you hadn't sent someone to call me, I'm afraid I'm still practicing," Ling Xiao explained.
"It's been a long time since I sent someone to invite you, and you're still dawdling, do you think that you can be proud and complacent when your cultivation has improved?" Ling Cang said angrily.
"Xiao'er dare not" Ling Xiao quickly bowed and said, he knew that the old man was angry this time.
Ling Cang sighed and said, "Forget it, I have two bottles of pills here, you can take them first." After all, he took out two bottles of pills and handed them to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao caught the elixir, opened it, and saw that it was actually a second-order Shengji Pill and Gale Wind Pill, but the quality was too poor. Obviously, the alchemist who made the elixir was only at the elementary level.
Ling Xiao muttered in his heart, "It's too embarrassing for me to take out this kind of elixir."
Ling Cang's expression fell into Ling Cang's eyes, and Ling Cang thought he didn't understand elixir, so he explained, "One bottle is Shengji Pill, which is a higher-level healing elixir than Huilu Pill, and the other bottle is Gale Wind Pill. Sometimes you can take it when you meet an invincible opponent, but you must not be careless, I believe that both Li and Luo will have these two elixirs."
Ling Xiao covered the bottle, put the two bottles of pills on the table and said, "Grandpa, the quality of these two bottles of pills is too poor, the effect may not be very good, I think you should keep it."
"You boy, I know that the Supreme Elder is protecting you, and I should have given you the pill as a backup, but this second-order pill is not often found at the Supreme Elder's place, so you don't want it, do you want to piss Grandpa to death! "Ling Cang said angrily.
Ling Xiao shook his head, took out two bottles of pills from the space ring and put them in front of Ling Cang, "Grandpa, what do you think this is?".
Ling Cang took Ling Xiao's pill suspiciously, opened it for a look, and then stamped on it, "So you already have these two pills, but please keep the ones that grandpa gave you, in case you need them in the future." with ".
"No, grandpa, compare your two bottles with mine," Ling Xiao said.
According to Ling Cang's words, he opened all four bottles of elixirs, and after such a comparison, he realized that the quality of his two bottles of elixirs was really rubbish.
"It seems that the Supreme Elder still has good things in his collection. If so, I will take them back." Ling Cang smiled wryly, and then put away his two bottles of pills.
"Grandpa, you can even accept my two bottles, anyway, I don't need it," Ling Xiao said.
"Asshole, do you know how much gold coins these two bottles of pills are worth? Even in the family, there are only a dozen or so bottles in the collection. Besides, this is given to you by the elders. He doesn't want you to be above Dabi." If there is any mistake, what use is it for me to give it to grandpa?" Ling Cang scolded loudly.
Tier 2 pills are extremely precious in Meteorite City. He thought that Ling Xiao didn't know how powerful they were, so he immediately reprimanded Ling Xiao severely to prevent him from becoming too proud.
"Grandpa, don't be angry, look what these are." Ling Xiao took a dozen bottles of pills and placed them in front of Ling Cang as if conjuring.
Now Ling Cang was shocked. He opened and looked at these pills one after another, and they were all second-order pills. In addition to Shengji Pill and Jifei Pill, there were also Jingqi Pill and Zengshi Pill...
"You...how do you have so many pills? Could this be the Supreme Elder's lifelong collection?" Ling Cang murmured in surprise, then he looked up at Ling Xiao and asked, "Xiaoer, tell the truth, the Supreme Elder What's up with him?".
"What's the matter?" Ling Xiao was asked inexplicably.
"Did the old man... ride a crane to the west?" Ling Cang asked with a look of pain.
"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? Although I haven't seen the old man for a while, I don't think the old man will go west... westward so easily, right?" Ling Xiao replied speechlessly.
"Then why do you have so many pills, and what about the space ring in your hand, isn't it all passed down to you by the Supreme Elder?" Ling Cang asked.
Ling Xiao suddenly realized that his grandfather thought that the elder Taishang had passed away and passed on all his property to him. His grandfather really had a long-term thinking.
"Grandpa, you misunderstood, I made these pills myself," Ling Xiao said frankly.
"You... you practiced it?" Ling Cang was shocked now, and there was a strong look of doubt in his eyes.
Therefore, Ling Xiao briefly explained how he became an alchemist.
Ling Cang on the side was more and more pleasantly surprised as he heard it, and finally laughed out loud, "Okay...okay, I didn't expect my Ling family to produce a master of refining medicine again, God bless my Ling family."
"In the past, some of our Ling family ancestors were pharmacists?" Ling Xiao asked.
